A refined and minerally Chassagne-Montrachet with delicate aromas of dried pears, fresh hazelnuts and butterscotch. Beautiful texture on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Then comes the long, focused finish that is the best thing about this beauty. Drink or hold. (Stuart Pigott, June 2024)

This white's broad profile wraps around lime, apple and butterscotch flavors. Feels a little diffuse midpalate, ending with a toasty oak note and echoes of butterscotch. Drink now through 2027. (USA, April 2024)

There is fine intensity to the concentrated middle
weight flavors that possess an appealing texture while
exuding a subtle bead of minerality on the markedly dry
and youthfully austere finale where a touch of warmth
eventually emerges. 2026+

The texture is fine and the palate reveals notes of acacia flower. This is a ripe but energetic wine that is honest and crisp, if not very complex.

"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grande Montagne mingles notes of pear, toasted nuts, citrus and smoke in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, textural and fleshy, with good depth and mid-palate amplitude, this is one of the more promising whites in the range."

Notes of matchstick, cool citrus and a variety of white orchard fruit precede caressing, delicious and seductively textured medium weight flavors that also possess good depth on the sneaky long and nicely balanced finish..

Latour's 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Grande Montagne wafts from the glass with aromas of pear, musky peach and honeycomb. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, textural and charming, exhibiting a giving, open-knit profile while retaining fine cut.

Clean, vibrant, classicly involving, high-class Chassagne. Round, open, mouth-watering layers of mineral-based and citrus flavour. That's a simply gorgeous mouthful of wine - bravo!

Rich, spicy, but super channelled. Focused persistent finish. 2022-30. (UL)

Cask sample. Spicy citrus, ripe pear. Marked oak on the palate. Mouth-watering and moreish, the fruit and the oak in balance but it needs a little more time than the other Louis Latour premier cru whites tasted so far. (JH, UK)

The 2017 offers up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, citrus oil and warm bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate with a pretty core of fruit and an attractively chalky, mineral profile.

Some savour and excitement on the nose. Firm and conjfident. Tastes like interesting white burgundy! Real structure and length. Drink: 2020 - 2027 (cask sample)

Lovely width - extra here - fresh, complex, pure - a real invitation. Mineral but deliciously sweet and complex - long, long... a touch of salinity - more upfront flavour than in the finish here - but a beautiful glass of wine...

Fresh, sporting apple, honey and toasted spice aromas and flavors. Open and accessible, finishing with a quinine note.

Tight, creamy, very ripe and chalky, stony, too. Cooked apples and cream, spice ; big, rich, balanced, and very long. - Margared Rand

Hefty citrus fruit giving plenty of concentration, and a slightly furry texture providing shape for the palate. Nice spicy persistence on the finish. Drink 2018-2026

Fullish yellow (...) Lemon and lime notes at the finish, good length.  (tasted prior to bottling)

This crisp wine comes from one of upper vineyards of the village. It is packed with apples and citrus, plus a touch of toast. (USA)

This is aromatically quite similar to the Maltroie though with the interesting addition of a hint of mint and the grapefruit character continues onto the palate while the mint element resurfaces on the finish. 88/2019+

Aromas of white truffles and stones with citrus and light tropical fruits. Medium to full body and an impressive depth of fruit and texture. Lots of cooked apples. Lovely finish. Drink now or in 2020 when this will be even better.

More ripe fruit to this with a cooked-apple, cream and apple-pie character on the nose and palate. Full body, a beautiful core of fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Just a hint of bitter lemons. Drink now.

A mix of peach, ripe apple, honey and nutmeg aromas and flavors are matched to an easygoing structure. Makes for immediate enjoyment. Moderate length. Drink now through 2020. By Bruce Sanderson (USA)

A wide, open nose, yet there are fine individual points of focus. Lovely - the flavour is bright but not sharp, it's complex and wide, very citrus inflected, the texture is lovely and the mid-palate and finish are beautifully packed with complex mouth-watering citrus anecdotes. A beauty - really hyper complex finishing. (cask sample) By Bill Nanson (UK)

Lots of aroma here, with a little bit of herb and nutty character suggesting savouriness, and a hint of honeyed development. The palate has juicy fruit that is very fresh and squirts across the tongue with a fat lemony freshness, quite tight in the finish, good acidity, but weight and fullness too. A complex and structured wine. (UK)
